Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I went from being a happy kid that smiled all the time, enjoyed drawing and had several friends to a pathetic adult with no talents, passion, creativity, friends or a job. Just a worthless and unlovable failure. And recently it's gotten so bad that I've started cutting myself and contemplating suicide. I just don't believe I have what it takes to get my life together, sadly.

If you kill yourself, fascists score another win. Would you allow them that?

i hate this reasoning. i'm also depressed, borderline suicidal and my suffering is a consequence of victories the fash have already won, not some glorious revolutionary struggle. prolonging that suffering isn't a w for me or anyone who isn't a torturer and ending it (preferably by improving my material and social conditions rather than death) would be mercy.

suffering isn't inherently virtuous

I’ve dealt with the same issues and yeah this shit is never helpful
